Afghanistan: The Americans killed the leader of the Taliban – Polish Radio

The divisions within the Taliban began in the summer, when Achtar Mullah Mohammed Mansur, deputy emir Mullah Omar, said that Omar had been dead for more than two years. During this time, Mansur kept secret the death of the Emir and he ruled the Taliban, giving orders on behalf of the deceased. Even that fact caused indignation among the Taliban commanders and accompanied by Mullah Omar. For rebellion occurred when Mansur, a master of political intrigue, has announced the new emir. Against him starring the younger brother of Mullah Omar Abdul Manan and Mohammed Jagub, the eldest son of the emir and, above all, a group of influential commanders, recognizing without question the sovereignty of the founder of the Taliban movement, but not intending to submit to Mansur, who never enjoyed among partisans special authority, and its rise was mainly due to the support of Pakistani intelligence.

Fearing split, Mansur agreed to convene in Pakistan’s Quetta great council guerrilla commanders, mullahs and leaders of the Pashtun tribes, who support the rebellion. At the end of the partisan congress Mansur said that his comrades come to terms with him and recognized in him the new emir.

But rivals Mansur did not intend neither to accept it or recognize it as the legitimate emir. Instead, in early November during the guerrilla meetings in the western provinces of Herat, Farah and Badghis they announced the official split and chose their own emir. It was fifty-Mullah Mohammed Rasul, one of the founders of the Taliban movement, which once belonged to the closest and most trusted companions of Mullah Omar. Deputy Rasul was elected Mullah Mansur Dadullah, whose brother, killed in 2007. By the Americans, he was one of the bloodiest and most powerful commanders of the Taliban. The death of his brother Mansur Dadullah blamed jealous of the influence of Mullah Mansur, and in response, the Taliban ruled him from among its members. Offended Mansur Dadullah founded his own insurgency in the southern province of Zabul.

In addition Dadullah among the rebels were chosen for their spokesman Mullah Abdul Mana Nijazi, guerrilla veterans of the mullahs Baz Mohammed and Abdul Razak, and above all was a political adviser to Mullah Omar Mullah Hassan Rahmani and Mullah Abdul Kajjum Zakir, considered the most dangerous of the commanders of the Taliban, who lost to Mansur competition for the post of deputy emir Omar.

Taliban Mullah Mansur They operate on the Afghan south, but strongholds secessionists are western provinces. In the fraction Mansura dominant role played by representatives of the Pashtun tribes Alizajów. Among the rebels outside Alizajami, there are representatives of other Pashtun tribes.

Rozłamowcy have Mansura a usurper and passive contractor orders Pakistani intelligence ISI. Utwierdzili in this belief, when one of the deputies Mansur was Siradżuddin Hakka, leader of the powerful, allied with the Taliban guerrilla army, known for its intimate relations with Islamabad.

Rozłamowcy, much poorer and less numerous than the main faction of the Taliban, They presented themselves as ardent Afghan nationalists, but less than the radical Taliban on politics and morals. They declared their readiness to talks with the government of Kabul as soon from Afghanistan last soldiers will withdraw from the West. They declared that they are ready to respect women’s rights, as guaranteed to them in the Afghan constitution, and condemned terrorism, especially suicide bombings, which killed civilians. They promised that they would not fight with the other faction of the Taliban, nor with the partisans of al-Qaeda or the Caliphate, which opened its branch in the Hindu Kush. Emir secessionists called partisans your Islamic brothers, but said it will not allow them to settle in Afghanistan.

At the end of October in Zabulu, as well as in Ghazni and Helmand, and even Herat and Farah broke but bloody battle between the two factions of the Taliban. All indications are that the war provoked guerrillas Mullah Mansur, who moved to the army Dadullah, to pick up its control of Zabul. The ongoing almost a month fighting killed more than a hundred partisans, and the Mullah Dadullah was seriously injured in an attack organized by people in Mansura.

The fratricidal war of the Taliban in no way improves the situation of the Afghan government army, whose soldiers are not able to face the guerrillas and instead of fighting them desert. The split within the Taliban difficult for attempts at peace talks with them. Have failed to achieve the united movement of the Taliban – the divided factions to agree on will be even more difficult.

The split within the Taliban difficult for life hindukuskiej branch of the Caliphate. For years it was the only alternative for those Afghan guerrilla commanders who are increasingly disappoint the old leadership of the Taliban, and after the death of Mullah Omar refused to acknowledge the leadership of Mullah Mansur. Abandoning the ranks of the Taliban, but not wanting to give up the war, they could proceed only hindukuskiej branch of the Islamic State. The emergence of splinter groups Mullah Rasul widened the choice and Afghan komedanci, wary of foreigners, including Arabs, will prefer to fight in one of the native war faction than to go under foreign command. For secessionists Rasul agreed not only Dadullah, whose przekabacić to his side tried to Islamic State, but a covenant with them entered into the guerrillas-the outcasts of the Muslim Movement of Uzbekistan, who in August took the oath of allegiance to the caliphate.
